Part 1. How to Start a Zoom Meeting on Android

There is no doubt that the Zoom app on an android device is easy to navigate through and put to use. All the features are pretty visible and can be used with ease. Also, the phone camera is much better in quality and hence, you can make calls with better visibility of yourself to whom you have called. You just have to opt for downloading the Zoom app by using the Google Play Store. Then you can opt for the creation of an account and you can put Zoom to use right away. Here’s how you get started with a meeting using Zoom on an Android phone:

• On the left side, in the upper corner, opt for clicking on the option “New Meeting.“

• Now, opt for the selection of “Start a Meeting.“ Once done, you will notice a video conference space.

• At this point, you will see a pop-up with the “Got it“ button on it. Click on it so you can provide a permit to Zoom to access the microphone and camera of the device you are using.
